This year’s entry sounds pretty horrendous:

Described as a “moving and powerful ballad” the song is based around the refrain “I’m still wet from this October rain”.

In the verse, Golan sings: “Who told you boys don’t cry/ Hours and hours/ And flowers/ Life is not a game for the cowards.”

The reference to flowers is significant, according to Israel Hayom, as it is military slang for war fatalities.

The song then ends in Hebrew: “There’s no air left to breathe/ There’s no place/ No me, from day to day.”
